Fashion Friday: Everyday Makeup How-To

Beauty is all around us and our Creator has given us so much inspiration to work with. We all know that true beauty comes from the inside, but on Fashion Fridays we discover the latest fashion and beauty trends that help us to feel beautiful on the outside.

We’ve written before about our favorite beauty and fashion trends, but maybe you’re saying “How do I pull that off? I have no idea where to start.” Of course it’s easy to look through photo inspiration and recreate it when you have a makeup kit at home. For those of you who are beginners, we thought we’d share a few everyday makeup tutorials for different skin tones. We must admit, these are definitely on the more glamorous side, but it’s good practice and won’t take  you all day long to accomplish. Continue reading “Fashion Friday: Everyday Makeup How-To” →

A few months ago, I was asked by my friend Charity Watts to be a part of a photoshoot that would be featured on a new website that was launching soon. The premise was to get women prepared for marriage…but what does that mean? After asking many married friends how she could prepare for her future spouse, Miss Watts gained a wealth of knowledge. With that wealth of knowledge she felt the burden to share with other women who may be asking the same questions and having the same doubts about being ready. Charity is the perfect name for this kind-hearted soul whose first instinct is to give rather than receive. Sign up today on Wifey Ready for exclusive access and to be the first to see the pre-launch. Clothing, accessories, inspiration, testimonies, and events are just around the corner. It’s all going down on July 31st, 2016.

Here’s a little about her movement in her own words:

“Do you remember the feeling of going into an exam calmly and confidently prepared VS. the feeling of going in nervous and sweaty because you weren’t prepared!? Those feelings can apply to almost every aspect of life! When we don’t take out time to plan, it’s easy to just let life, relationships, and situations happen, but with that comes results that just…..happen! Just like in school, the more you prepared for the big exam the better you did. How about taking a pro-active approach in preparing for the life you want, including marriage and being a wife!? You desire to be married, you desire to have a GREAT marriage….do YOUR part now in planning to become to the best future Mrs. [FILL IN THE BLANK] God has created and planned for YOU to be!″

In Love,

Promo Tuesday with Karla Storey

For the past several years it’s really been on my heart to adopt as well as have biological children. The story of adults who have been in the foster system as well as those who were adopted really resonated with me. I don’t think everyone has to or should adopt, but The Lord has definitely opened up my heart to the idea. Where do you start though? I always thought I would “find my future children” through volunteering, mentoring, or some type of community organization where I would get to know them and God would say “this is the one”. I’ve been meaning to highlight Karla Storey after seeing her fashion ministry on Instagram. Imagine my surprise when I go to her about section and she explains how her heart is for orphans, fostering, and adopting. Additionally, part of her proceeds goes towards helping them to have a better life. When you put your money where you mouth is, great things start to happen. Add Jesus to that, and all possibilities start to rise to the surface. I’m looking forward to seeing her flourish, and I thank God that there are so many out there making a difference.

Fashion Friday: Ombre Hair

Beauty is all around us and our Creator has given us so much inspiration to work with. We all know that true beauty comes from the inside, but on Fashion Fridays we discover the latest fashion and beauty trends that help us to feel beautiful on the outside.

We can’t seem to think of a time of year when ombre hair is not in season. If you’ve never tried it, we suggest you start with a subtle color and build to more bold colors if you like the effect. You may prefer a more natural gradient that looks like you spent hours in the sun, or a more bold contrast of “mermaid hair”. Either way, we’re sure you’ll rock it!

In Love,

I met Cece during a model fitting a few months ago. It didn’t take long for us to start talking about our love for God and how He’s impacted our careers. She mentioned that she took a leap of faith and left the corporate world to pursue her love for fashion and styling. We traded contact information and I looked up her brand La Isla Vida as soon as I got home. My jaw dropped. She mentioned that this was her first fashion line, and her designs looked as though she’s been confidently doing this for years. That’s the power of trusting in your Creator to work through you. So many opportunities have come up for her since she’s stepped into the spotlight, but the most admirable quality of her success is the fact that she chooses to use her skills to help others. Many of the red carpets she walks have a cause behind them, and she doesn’t pass up an opportunity to help others in their pursuit to make the world a brighter place. You’ll be doing yourself a favor by keeping up with this inspiring woman and seeing what her next plans are. Continue reading “Promo Tuesday with Cece La Isla Vida” →

Fashion Friday: His and Hers All White

Beauty is all around us and our Creator has given us so much inspiration to work with. We all know that true beauty comes from the inside, but on Fashion Fridays we discover the latest fashion and beauty trends that help us to feel beautiful on the outside.

What could be better than strutting around as a blank canvas? We know, it’s intimidating to wear all white because…stains. However, there are so many fabrics you can wear in white that are easy to clean. If you’ve never tried wearing an all white ensemble, we encourage you to start. Going from simply casual to red carpet stunning is as easy as sliding that debit card at your favorite boutique…or rummaging through your closet for that white skirt that still has tags on it. We love the metallic accents in some of the examples below, as well as the pop  of color in the shoe or bag to match the outfit. Which one is your favorite?

Dime A Daisiee was founded by my friend Jami not too long ago. Even though her venture into baby clothing is recent, she’s been sewing since early childhood. I met her around the time I moved to Los Angeles in 2010, and I modeled for her retro pinup fashion line when she was still doing wedding and special occasion dresses and accessories. We’ve been friends since then, and I’m so happy to see her business evolve and grow and become more and more successful over time. I’m absolutely in love with her frilly lace rompers for babies as well as the simple, yet classic tiny pants with knee patches. If you’re a parent, know a parent, or are a photographer who specializes or dabbles in child portraits, please visit her website and see if there’s anything you need to “add to cart”.

Fashion Friday: Winged Eyeliner

Beauty is all around us and our Creator has given us so much inspiration to work with. We all know that true beauty comes from the inside, but on Fashion Fridays we discover the latest fashion and beauty trends that help us to feel beautiful on the outside.

It can be a simple addition to your makeup that draws attention to your eyes, or an extreme effect to add drama to your editorial photoshoot. Either way, winged eyeliner is an amazing look that isn’t going away any time soon. We know it’s a little intimidating in the beginning, but we believe–with enough practice–you can master the artistry of liquid liner. It comes in fun colors and glittery shades, but classic black will always be our favorite. What’s your go-to winged look? Continue reading “Fashion Friday: Winged Eyeliner” →
